“We’ve recently started a weekly walk with Rosalind. We received a report card of how Ellie got on along with a picture! We feel more at ease now that Ellie can be left whilst we are at work and that Rosalind will take care of her :)”
About: I've studied animal management at college which I hold a HND (Higher National Diploma) qualification for. I did animal behaviour, training, welfare and ethics etc. I did work experience in a kennels, so I am used to dog walking, cleaning up after dogs, feeding etc. I can work with senior animals all the way to a few months old and up. Works with dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and invertebrates. See the photos section of my profile for proof of my qualification. I work part time as a carer at my home for my autistic brother. However I take bookings based on what ones I already have on (so long as the pet owner doesn't mind me popping out from time to time then I'll take it on) We have fencing to keep our dogs in the garden. In someone else's home I'd keep windows shut, doors locked unless going out, and only walk your pets in areas you advise as safe for peace of mind.
“I sent a really last minute request for a dog walk for my 2 sheps for the same day due to being let down. Marie & her partner came at the requested time & were happy to oblige. I have a ring doorbell that I can check and my 2 looked so happy to have been on a walk with them both. Will definitely be using in the future. Thank you so much 🙏🏻”
“Megan was amazing. My puppy Barney loved her. She was very conscientious about making sure it wasn’t too hot for a walk and when it was she played with him inside instead. I really appreciated her updates and communication. Would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

About: I’ve grown up in a household that has always loved pets - we’ve had cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters and dogs :) and I have looked after friends and families dogs for over 20 years. I now have my own Romanian rescue dog, Barker and so I know how important it is to feel confident in the person you are leaving your pet with. I will treat them like my own and keep them happy and safe. I work part time and quite often that work is at home, so I have the time and availability to be around for other people’s furry friends :) I live by a large park, so perfect for any dog walks If a dog were to stay in my home I have a 6ft fenced garden and no children present. I also have my own dog Barker to keep them company. Your dog would be treated like my own and be allowed on my furniture and where they felt comfortable. I don’t have a large number of guest dogs at one time, ensuring that your dog will have all of my care and attention. I would treat your pet with the love and respect that I have for my own.
About: I’ve mainly taken care of horses in the past, though have more recently looked after cats and dogs. I love long walks, so I reckon I’d get on pretty well with most dogs. I also love a nap on the sofa so I reckon I’d get on pretty well with cats too. I love learning the quirks of each pet, and how to love them as much as you do. As a student, I have a very flexible timetable to suit your and your pets’ needs. I love learning I’m currently a student and have completed all my assignments so have a lot of free time at the moment. I am available most weekdays and weekends and don’t mind late night or early mornings if it is not an overnight stay. I appreciate that each pet has their own timetable and it’s up to me to honour that while I care for them. However your home is suited for you pet, I’ll learn and understand how best to care for your pet. Any medications, specific foods, special toys, show it all and I’ll make sure to care for them to my best ability. I will always do my best to keep your pets happy, safe and calm.

About: Having grown up with a large breed dog most of my childhood (boxer dog) I quickly learnt the love and loyalty a dog gives. For the last 14 years I’ve had 2 large black labs that have now sadly gone (due to old age) and left a great big hole in my heart. Due to work commitments it wouldn’t be fair to get another dog but what I can do is give my love to another dog while its humans are in holiday or away from home. I have 3 children aged 16, 14 & 11 that all love the four legged friends like I do. As a family we would love to love and care for your fur baby while you are not available. I have a large gated front garden but if you prefer extra safety I have a locked gated back garden where your dog will not be able to get out or anybody enter without being invited. I have patio doors that can be left open allowing your dog to wander inside and out (weather permitting).

We are happy to give your pets a home from home experience 🐕🐶
